No More Sharing Flat Numbers: Mygate Launches ‘Safe Pickup Mode

‘Safe Pickup Mode’ protects resident privacy during everyday cab pickups– particularly women and late-night commuters.
Mygate introduces vehicle-based verification for seamless access.
India | May , 2026: Mygate, India’s largest gated community technology company, has announced the launch of Safe Pickup Mode, a new feature designed to enhance resident privacy and security during cab pickups at gated societies.
The feature has been introduced in response to consistent feedback from residents, particularly women, who expressed discomfort in sharing their flat numbers with cab drivers waiting at society gates for entry approvals. Under the existing process, drivers are required to relay the resident’s flat number to security personnel to initiate a Mygate approval, often leading to unintended sharing of personal information.
With Safe Pickup Mode, this step is eliminated. Residents can enable the feature while creating a cab pre-approval, allowing verification to be completed solely through the vehicle number. Drivers are now informed of the tower alone, and this ensures that flat numbers remain private and are not disclosed to guards or drivers, while maintaining a seamless and secure entry process at the gate.
“Safety isn’t just about access control, it’s also about protecting personal information in everyday interactions. With Mygate introducing Safe Pickup Mode, we’ve removed a small but important friction point by ensuring residents don’t have to share sensitive details like flat numbers with unknown drivers. This is a simple, intuitive feature built directly from community feedback, and reflects our continued focus on making gated living more secure, private, and user-friendly,” said Abhishek Kumar, Co-founder & CEO, Mygate.
While the feature was driven by feedback from women residents, it has been designed to benefit all users, reinforcing Mygate’s commitment to building inclusive and privacy-first solutions for modern gated communities.
Mygate is encouraging residents to try the feature and share their feedback as the platform continues to refine and enhance user experience.
